Theme 2026: Unleash the Lion
Boomerang is built on powerful values: trust, commitment, and reciprocity. Our weekly meetings, warm referrals, and shared growth form the foundation of a strong entrepreneurial community.
The momentum is there. Boomerang is growing at a rapid pace, and more entrepreneurs are discovering the power of real connection, collaboration, and strengthening one another.
Together, we are shifting into a new gear. One that calls for courage, energy, and entrepreneurs who are ready to step up and take action.
Therefore the theme of the Boomerang Conference 2026: Unleash the Lion.
This is the time to fully unleash the power already within our network. To think bigger, work stronger together, and seize new opportunities. Entrepreneurs who continuously move each other forward.
During the conference, we celebrate this. With inspiring speakers, fresh insights, and powerful connections that will elevate your business and your network to the next level. But even more importantly: we look ahead.
Are you ready to grow?
Unleash the Lion. The moment is now. 🦁
A limited number of seats are available for this event. Be quick!
Main Sponsors
This conference is made possible by the great fantastic support from our two main sponsors: Jetchair and Mister Beans Coffee. Thanks to their contribution we are able to organize this conference at the beautiful location Beekse Bergen.
Mister Beans
At Mister Beans, they believe that good coffee is more than just a drink. It’s the start of a conversation. An idea. A collaboration. That’s why they’re proud to be the main sponsor of the Boomerang Conference. Because where entrepreneurs come together, opportunities arise. And where coffee is served, connections are made. Networking and coffee have more in common than you might think: They bring people together, provide energy and inspiration, and form the foundation for something that lasts. At the Boomerang Conference, it all comes together. Ambition, growth, knowledge… and of course: good coffee.

Jonas Brøg
For years, Jonas was the drummer for acts including Postmen, Alain Clark, Westlife, Gloria Gaynor, and Sister Sledge. But he discovered that he gets far more fulfillment from connecting business professionals with music and humor—than from simply performing in packed stadiums. 🎶😃☀️ These days, Jonas travels across the country every week with his Good Vibes Music Challenge. He provides energizers, team-building activities, and icebreakers for companies, municipalities, and other organizations. Generating energy together & connecting: that’s what really makes Jonas happy! 🎸🎉🥳

Over the past 15 years, I have been active in the franchise industry, particularly in the field of business networking.

Aqil Radjab
With nearly 25 years of experience, I’ve had the opportunity to experience many aspects of entrepreneurship. Countless wonderful, rewarding memories, but every now and then also some very unpleasant, anxious, and difficult moments. What drives me and keeps me going full steam ahead with a positive attitude every single day? Well, a very clear sense of purpose, an unparalleled team, and countless beautiful moments of connection and growth within Boomerang and among our members. That’s why – Let’s Go!
Kim Spieard
Hi, I’m Kim Spieard, Operations Manager at Boomerang. I love keeping track of things, getting things done, and especially organizing events that truly benefit people. From the initial idea to the final badge: I make sure everything runs smoothly. This conference is a great example of that. What do I enjoy most? Seeing how entrepreneurs connect, inspire, and help each other here. That’s why I do it – with plenty of energy and enthusiasm.
John Krijgsman
You meet a lot of people every week at Boomerang. With some, you just “click” right away, but with others, it just doesn’t work out—even though you’re trying so hard. How is that possible?! A little color can help you understand each other better! DISC is one of the world’s most widely used methods for mapping human behavior and communication styles. It helps you see at a glance how people react, make decisions, and handle stress. Instead of getting annoyed, you’ll develop a better understanding of others and effortlessly tailor your tone and arguments to what the other person needs. Add some color to your conversations and discover how quickly doors will open for you!
Marlien Rump
Marlien Rump is an organizational consultant, change management expert, trainer, and co-founder of Zindert. Maybe you’ve been there… You’re talking to a client, and before you know it, you’re the one doing all the work: talking a lot, coming up with solutions, and trying to convince the other person. During the Boomerang Conference, Marlien will show you how to use the “Wonder Question” to steer such a conversation in a different direction. You’ll receive a set of smart conversation tools and get hands-on experience with chunking, overcoming obstacles, and the search for an HGR. This way, you’ll discover how to work less hard yourself during conversations and, instead, unlock more of your client’s thinking power.
Stef Bogers
Stef Bogers is the founder and owner of Komma, the branding agency that transforms companies into compelling brands with impact.

During this presentation, he’ll share not only his expertise but also his unique communication style—one that makes you laugh and think—while offering practical tips on how to turn your business into a powerful and distinctive brand.
Davey Raaijmakers
I’m Davey Raaijmakers, founder of 123betalen.com. I believe that getting paid can be much easier for entrepreneurs. Yet we often use different systems for invoices, payment requests, cash register payments, tickets, and online payments. With 123betalen.com, we bring these solutions together on a single platform. My goal is simple: to help entrepreneurs get paid quickly, easily, and hassle-free. Whether you’re a freelancer, own an SME, run a networking club, or are a hairdresser, esthetician, or plumber, for example: 123betalen.com offers practical payment solutions that fit your business model—from simple payments to invoicing, point-of-sale, and ticket sales.

Okay then:
So we are going to Safaripark Beekse Bergen. And what a location it is. One that immediately does something to you. As soon as you enter you already feel it: this is going to be different.
You are in the middle of nature, among the animals, open plains … nice safari vibes. No crowds, no distractions. Just focus in a park full of beautiful people. And that’s exactly what we need.
Because the theme this year is “Unleash the Lion Within.”
Not a little improvement. Not a little step. No, this is the time when we really start taking ourselves seriously. That you flip that switch and think: okay, what’s really in me? What beautiful thing could we build if we go for it full force?
During the day, you’re going to feel that. No standard talk, but stories and insights that touch you. Energy that turns you on. Moments of which you later think: yes … that’s where the switch went….
And then the awards dinner…
Eating together, laughing, celebrating awards. Recognition for all the hard work put in, but above all: that vibe together. An evening where everything makes sense and you feel: this is why we do this.
You don’t just go here … you leave here different.
We are already very, very, very much looking forward to it!
